Testimonials

The trainer is very knowledgeable, speaks very confidently, clearly and he’s also very friendly. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself during this training session. The event was very well organized by Kexxel Group. The topic provided was a good refresher especially on the area of managing people.

Often the case - top management comes from different backgrounds typically not from finance, bringing with them lots of expertise (Marketing, Ops, Strategy) and often fail to understand how the impact of their decision has affect on the financial outcome of the overall business.

The aim of this event is to enhance decision makers’ ability to make critical strategic decisions that have a great effect over time, based on financial awareness and interpretation of the present financial situation.

Richard Parker is an educator and consultant who specialises in corporate financial management.
His skill and reputation as a finance presenter has resulted in him being highly sought after in the corporate education sphere.

**This seminar is specifically designed for managers who may or may not have an accounting or finance background who see their future management role as requiring greater understanding of financial concepts to assist them in making sound management decisions.

Brief introduction about the programme

Testimonials

“The speaker gave very clear, good mix of examples, humor, as well as stories to bring ideas and principles to life. It has a good pace. The highlight of this event is the broad overview of financial principles and terminology, along with good handout materials.”Graeme Read – EVP Chief Strategy Officer (Asia Pacific), McCann Health

“The trainer was able to put things across in a way that helped a non-finance person grasp the key essence of the subject.”Ng Cher Keng – Director, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore

“Richard was engaging and able to translate finance into a very business-centric focus. I found the content of the program very good especially for those who do not have finance background. Richard I think is very good, very business savvy, mixes financial terms with technical terms It is helpful to understand things from a finance perspective.. Yes I would definitely recommend others to attend..”Sharifah Noralina bt Syed Yassin – HR Director, Dutch Lady Milk Industries

“This session has been refreshing and I’ve learned something new. It’s good for me as a board member, as I have to look at financial statements. This session is suitable and useful for those who are in a private business, or someone who is in the finance department. At a dimensional level, it’s more useful to know what financial statements mean, not to calculate but to interpret the given financial statement. Kexxel has been great and I enjoyed this event.”Hanibah Ab Wahab – Senior Director Management Services Division, Ministry of International Trade & Industry Malaysia

“I’ve always wanted to learn more about finance. I’ve read finance books but at times, it’s a bit difficult to relate to examples. This talk provides examples and encourages us to think, as well as learn faster and easier. When we go for capital investments and want to buy special tools, we have templates prepared by our accountants so we just insert the figures of outlay and capital review. However, we do not really know what the figure is about, we only key in the values to know if it is worth investing. Now, we appreciate this better. As decision makers we have to ensure our business is sustainable, so we have to look at the finance side as well. Kexxel Group is well organized, the content is good and the food is excellent. Overall it’s excellent; I will attend again in the future.”Anuar Yusoff – Chief Operation Officer, Tenaga Nasional Berhad
